Tom Bergeron's hosting a new dance competition ... though the new contestants are a whole lot more dangerous than your average group of celebrities -- these are some of the ocean's most dangerous predators.

The former "Dancing with the Stars" host joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday to discuss his new show for Shark Week titled "Dancing with Sharks" ... where professional shark handlers are training with a choreographer, hopping in the water and teaching the animals how to boogie!

Bergeron jokes sharks like to lead -- after all, they're some of the scariest fish out there, so they certainly ain't afraid to forge their own paths -- but, he adds, it's pretty safe ... 'cause the shark handlers have worked with creatures like these for years and know what to do.

Stephen Colbert will finally get to embrace the life of a morning person ... 'cause he's got one more season and then he's leaving late-night television behind.

More specifically, CBS announced that "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is officially coming to an end ... which, of course, means its host will need to look for new work after May 2026.

The company made the announcement Thursday ... calling the move "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”

The "Love Island USA" star stopped by Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast to discuss her time on the show ... and dished on the sexual prowess of her partner on the show, Chris Seeley.

Cooper asks if Seeley talked to Huda before telling other people in the villa they'd done the deed ... and, she says not only did they not have a discussion -- but, the extent of their sexual activity was totally overblown, too.

Khloé Kardashian’s making it crystal clear -- she’s all about embracing her natural looks these days ... a far cry from the era when she wouldn’t dare post without a heavy dose of Photoshop.

On her "Khloé in Wonder Land" podcast, the 41-year-old looked back on the filter-obsessed era -- admitting she was editing her pics so much, she basically looked like a cartoon character.

Khloé said it was a messy cycle -- she’d have pro photos heavily edited, then see unfiltered pap shots and feel like she didn’t even look like the same person in real life.

"Love Island USA" star Huda Mustafa has opened up about her painful past, revealing the shocking abuse she and her family suffered at the hands of her father ... and how, in some instances, even her own family couldn’t -- or wouldn’t -- believe her about her own experiences.

On the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Huda explained how she was left alone with her dad for long stretches while her mom worked, hinting that much more went down behind closed doors than anyone realized. And when the truth came out? Her family refused to accept it.

Huda told host Alex Cooper that while that stings, she’s made peace with the fact that she knows the truth -- and despite everything, still watched her siblings go through their own hell with their dad.

We caught up with Ashley on Tuesday, and she tells TMZ the drama with Tayler and others who "hopped on that bandwagon" didn't come out of nowhere -- it all boiled down to different expectations when it comes to loyalty and friendship.

"Love Island USA" star Nic Vansteenberghe is finally sounding off on Cierra Ortega’s sudden villa boot -- now that he’s got the full scoop on her racial controversy post-exit.

On the latest "Chicks in the Office" podcast, he said producers brushed it off to him as "personal reasons" -- super vague -- and he even thought about leaving the villa himself since their connection was one of the strongest there.

Nic said he stayed put 'cause if whatever was going down outside didn’t align with his values, walking out might’ve looked like he was backing it too.

American actor and singer Wayne Wilcox was 24 years old when he first started playing Marty -- Rory Gilmore's awkward college friend -- on the long-running drama-edy "Gilmore Girls" back in 2003.

We know "Love Island USA" is meant to bring contestants together -- it's basically in the name!

The thing is, surprisingly few Islanders make it out of the villa with their respective partners, although a handful of pairs from the show's past few seasons have stood the test of time.

We're going to take a look at the couples that have remained together after their experiences in their villas concluded ... and check out the special couple headed to the altar.

Two of the most successful couples in "Love Island USA's" history came out of Season 5, with one pair being Taylor Smith and Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen.

Although the couple ended up placing third in the show's fifth run -- won by Hannah Wright and Marco Donatelli -- they've stayed together ever since the show's conclusion, despite navigating a long-distance relationship.

Oh, and speaking of Wright and Donatelli ... they're the only couple from "Love Island USA" who've actually gotten engaged!

The reality television personality got down on one knee and asked his partner to marry him during a trip to the Dominican Republic in May 2025 ... he later told People he knew he wanted to be with Wright "from the moment I laid my eyes on her."

Wright admitted she became emotional when Donatelli popped the big question, adding she was "crying the whole time" -- in a good way, of course.

Season 6 of "Love Island USA" has proven to be the most successful run in the history of the dating show's American version ... in terms of couples, that is.

The season's winners -- Kordell Beckham and Serena Page -- not only took home the $100,000 grand prize at the end of it all ... they've remained together ever since their season ended.

The thing is, they're not moving in together, at least for a little while ... Page told People they've gotta get engaged before they take that step.

Also coming out of Season 6 are Miguel Harichi and Leah Kateb, who finished out in the runner-up position.

JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez ended up in third place when all the dust settled ... but they're still together -- and hey, isn't love its own reward?

Part of "Love Island USA" is people coming together -- although not many fans could have predicted Carmen Kocourek and Connor Newsum ending up as a couple.

Kocourek was first introduced to fans when she appeared on the show's fifth season, and she landed in fourth place alongside her partner, Kenzo Nudo.

The former couple remained together for just under a year -- but they ultimately went their separate ways in June 2024.

Newsum made his "Love Island USA" debut on the program's sixth season, although he got dumped pretty early on.
